September 10th, 2015 Klara Melina

The consumer electronics industry is a $200 billion industry that’s growing each year. In 2014, the U.S. Patent Office issued over 275,000 patents for innovative electronic devices that will shape our personal and professional lives for the future.

The 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, an annual Las Vegas event, introduced thousands of new products from inventors and companies with a diverse product development strategy and plan for genius electronic products that will change the future. With more than 3,500 exhibitors and 150,000 people from around the world in attendance, CES is a major showcase for new consumer electronics. Here are five of the top trends.

Ultra HDTV

The new Ultra HDTV hit the market in 2014, and CES predicts that sales will increase from 800,000 units sold in 2014 to over three million units in 2015. With improved light and resolution, picture clarity and realism is incredible. With the invention of smart TVs and online streaming, Ultra HDTV is certain to be a popular feature for both homes and businesses.

3D Printers

3D printers are innovative and impressive products that are being used for the design of car parts, household items, classroom technology, and internal organs. Many businesses are already using 3D printers, but consumers are still on a learning curve about what 3D printers can do for them to justify the costs which are still relatively expensive for the average consumer.

Smart Home Products

Consumers want their homes to communicate with them. Over the last few years, there’s been explosive demands by homeowners for smart phones, TVs, appliances, thermostats, lighting controls and security systems. In 2015, sensors will tell you who’s home and who’s not, alert you to necessary household repairs, and even monitor your dental hygiene habits.

Robotics

Consumers want domestic robots to help around the house for cleaning, laundry, and even companionship. According to market studies, consumer robotic sales could reach $1 billion by 2019. From autonomous drones to friendly household robots, demand is on the rise. Expect to see more advances in robotic vacuums, pet products and household security products.
